The SPM3 stage is a 3-axis ultra-high speed nanopositioner, offering a travel range up to 75µm along X and Y with resonant frequencies higher than 2kHz on both axis.
The Z portion of the SPM3 stage can have up to 50µm travel range and offers the highest speed capabilities available on the market with a maximum of 12.5kHz resonant frequencies. Indeed, when used with the high power controller, SPM3.5’s step response time on the Z axis can be smaller than a millisecond. This is why the SPM stage is particularly well suited for demanding metrology applications such as Atomic Force Microscopy.
It can be combined with a coarse positioning Microstage (See our Hybrid System). This nanopositioner is part of our high-speed product line (High power controller available).
